Broke Down Car Blues

Today I made it through my routine and was in line to make the 3:00 ferry. And once it was my turn to start up and drive on the ferry, my car decided not to start! It actually would start get to idle and then die over and over again. Luckily I was near the back so not too many people had to drive around me. Once I was pushed out of the way I got a tow to a nearby GM dealership and a ride back to the ferry terminal. I ended up walking onto the 6:20 ferry and taking a cab back to the house. The tow truck driver thought it was only a clogged fuel filter (which I would normally fix on my own) but I won't hear from the dealership tomorrow. I wish it had done this earlier in the week. I have an appointment with a Sarcoma specialist, my radiation therapy, and my flight back to Tulsa. (I get to see my kids and Amy for the weekend!)

definitely not something I am budgeted for, hopefully it'll just be a filter and not something larger like a pump.
